The UK Research Assessment Exercise and the narrowing of UK economics
构建了一个基于经验的结构因果模型，解释英国经济学在1992年至今的研究评估练习中异端经济学被逐步淘汰、主流经济学同质化以及少数院系主导地位上升的现象，并预测2014年研究卓越框架下的趋势。
The aim of this article is to delineate an empirically grounded, structure-causal going concern recursive model of UK economics that, in the context of the Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) and local department decision making, explains the progressive elimination of heterodox economics, the progressive homogenisation of mainstream economics from 1992 to the present and the continued rise to dominance of a select group of departments, and indicates whether these events will continue under the Research Excellence Framework selectivity exercise in 2014.
